If anyone were to ask what has been the secret to the long-lasting success of Goskand Ski Shop, the answer would be “a family mentality”. In 1994, GOSKAND Ski Shop & Soccer was born out of the dreams and inspirations of Andrew and his wife, Margaret, to turn their beloved sport of skiing into a profession.
Goskand attempts to extend this love of outdoor sports to its customers and to welcome them into the family atmosphere shared by these sports enthusiasts. We offer everything from ski rentals and ski tuning to high-end ski clothing and performance skis and boots for sale.

Kid’s
When kids first start learning to ride it is important that they are fitted with comfortable and safe equipment. Learning or just beginning to ski/snowboard is challenging enough; therefore being comfortable is going to make your little guy or girl’s day much better. Plus, there is a lot of falling when you are learning to ride, so it is important that your kids are properly fitted and have proper safety equipment. We make it easy for you to get fitted in the shop and gather your gear before hitting the slopes; because renting at the slope is hectic when you already have your hands full. We also have kids’ ski jackets, gloves, helmets, and more for purchase at the shop.

Here is our ski review on the latest new skis for kids. Kids grow fast and can grow out of their ski equipment in one or two ski seasons. So if you are only going to take the family skiing a few times, rent skis for your kids at our rental shop or buy from our ski shop, that allows you can trade-in your kids ski gear at the end of the year for a credit towards next year’s ski gear.
